81. A Conversation About Brain Over Binge

Many people who've struggled with binge eating for a long time have come across the book "Brain Over Binge" by Kathryn Hansen. Sarah and Stef, co-hosts, both read the book as they tried to recover and are discussing how the method landed for them. The episode looks into: Stef’s history and experience with reading BOB and taking the official BOB course Sarah’s experience of “looking forward to” the next binge urge to learn a new response. Dismissal of urges as irresponsible – what if those messages from the primal brain are valid, asks Stef Weight and eating as pathological Minimization (demonization?) of conventional therapy Do some personality types find this approach easier than others? Sarah’s use of RALIC to ride out binge urges - but not with the goal of not bingeing itself. What if giving yourself permission to binge does NOT feel okay? Does it work to delay a binge? What can we take from BOB, in S&S’s perspective? Join the LAD Membership Connect with the show!
